Week 2: Summer Stamp Camp

These are the colors we are challenged to work with this week.  Many of us expressed appreciation that the color green was included!  Love these cheerful summer colors!



Week Two Summer Card Camp

The flower is Penny Black's "Sparkle".  I stamped the image using Rusty Hinge Distress Ink and over-colored it with Copic markers, using shades of pink.  Kathy Racoosin used this image on her blog and demo'd outlining the image with a Copic multi-liner.  I like that look, so I outlined my flower, too.  This stamp includes "built-in" shading, which makes using black ink to stamp difficult!  It worked much better using distress ink.  I am entering this card in the challenge at Penny Black this week which is "circles". 

I am up late tonight because my neighbors are ignoring city ordinances, safety rules and common sense and are shooting off fireworks in their driveway!  It is scary because little children are involved!  My windows are literally rattling! 

We had a quiet holiday.  Took in a movie:  Paris at Midnight.  Enjoyed it!  I went to the mall today and it was deserted!  I must have been the only person who had no holiday plans!

Thanks for stopping by!

Judy this is such a lovely design, I am so glad you have inked up your new sparkle stamp, the result is stunning. Can I just add an edit to your post, I would love to take credit for the outlining, but I think it was Kathy Racoosin that did a project with this flower.

How inconsiderate of your neighbours, fireworks are so dangerous, I think they should only be used at public licensed events where all safety measures are taken.

Hope the rest of your week is more peaceful.

Love these colors and your take on them! Look at all that stitching, and in a circle yet!! We had big boomers in our neighborhood last night too....

Love this week's challenge colors--you did such a great job with them! Total summery feeling and it looks like stitching is getting to be your trademark!

Our recent fireworks ban made a huge difference in the amount of idiots that set off illegal ones this holiday. That and an amnesty program. It was so nice and quiet and the air was clean and clear....
